What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Basecamp Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Compliance Drawing' is a studio layout/design that Basecamp Fitness will create for the franchisee's studio before construction begins. The franchisee must supply accurate site information for the proposed location, including as-built drawings, surveys, technical data, construction documents, and site plans, to allow Basecamp Fitness to create the Compliance Drawing.
The franchisee must develop their Basecamp Studio according to all applicable laws, regulations, codes, and other governing requirements, as well as Basecamp Fitness's mandatory specifications and any Compliance Drawing. The franchisee cannot begin construction until they have received written consent from Basecamp Fitness for their actual design.
If a franchisee desires additional Compliance Drawings beyond the initial one, they must pay Basecamp Fitness's then-current fee per drawing. The franchisee is also required to retain Basecamp Fitness's designated architectural vendor to create a complete set of detailed construction documents and to complete construction of their facility in compliance with Basecamp Fitness's mandatory specifications. If the franchisee chooses not to use Basecamp Fitness's designated architectural vendor for the creation of their Construction Documents, they will pay Basecamp Fitness a nonrefundable fee of $2,700 to review the Construction Documents.
